Japanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering autophagy, the process where cells break down and recycle damaged components to survive stress like fasting.

Shared widely during Ramadan—which began around February 18—posts connect the science to longstanding Muslim, Hindu, and folk fasting traditions, though experts caution it's no cancer cure and advise consulting doctors for safety.

In a France 24 interview, US Senior Adviser for Africa Massad Boulos expressed deep disappointment over M23's takeover of Uvira in South Kivu, calling it a clear violation of the June 2025 Washington Peace Accord ratified in December and witnessed by President Trump.
